hi mforbez
i hear you voicing your frustration. it seems you are comparing your insides with other's outsides. as you acknowledged, everybody does have their problems. we just dont know about them. i understand isolation. totally get it. i do it all the time because i think people suck. even my best friends i have no expectations of because they continually let me down. i know if i call or text, they arent going to respond, so it is a happy surprise if they do. ive just come to accept that the world is an awful place. i live a simple philosphy. when i do good i feel good. so i do my best to make the best choices for me so that i can feel good and i dont care what is happening with the people around me because i have no control of them.
